Chapter 1630 The fire ship breaks the iron lock
Chapter 1628: The fire ship breaks the iron lock
Wang Mang did handle Chen Baxian's rebellion very well. On the one hand, he reconciled with Chen Baxian, and on the other hand, he comforted Chen Qingzhi, and he behaved very generously.
Chen Qingzhi originally felt guilty for Wang Mang. After all, Chen Baxian was also his clan brother. After seeing Wang Mang's attitude, he stayed with Wang Mang more wholeheartedly and decisively rejected the invitation of his clan brother Chen Baxian.
The Kingdom of Liao, no, it should be called the Kingdom of Chen now. The original palace of the Liao Kingdom has now been changed to the Kingdom of Chen.
In just a few months, from Liao Gongsun Xuanyuan, to Liao Wang Gongsun Shu, and then to Chen Wang Chen Baxian, the land of Liaodong changed three owners. The only thing that remained unchanged was that the ministers still enjoyed the former high officials. Good salary.
Most of the people at the bottom of Liaodong missed Gongsun Xuanyuan. They resisted Chen Baxian just like they resisted Gongsun Shu, but it had no effect at all.
Chen Baxian has already won the support of most of the aristocratic families in Liaodong and the scholar-bureaucrats. For them, the opinions of the people at the bottom are not important at all.
With the support of Zhao Ji, Gao Qiu, Cai Jing, Zhang Bangchang and other traitor lackeys, Chen Baxian slowly took the throne.
“See King Chen.”
“Everyone, get up.”
Chen Baxian smiled lightly. While he was so proud, he couldn't help but feel a little pity that Chen Qingzhi actually refused his solicitation.
“Forget it, there are many capable people in the world. If Qingzhi is not willing to help me, there will always be others who are willing.”
Chen Baxian thought to himself, but he overlooked one point, that is, he failed to gain the support of his relatives, let alone outsiders.

Mengjin Ferry.
After Huang Feihu received Qin Hao's order, he went to the Yellow River ferry without stopping. When he arrived, he found that he had another deputy general, Guan Sheng.
Four of the Five Liangshan Tiger Generals are all in Beihai. The combined combat power of the four can rival the God of War, so the combined combat power of the Five Tigers must be stronger, so Qin Hao also asked Guan Sheng and Huang Feihu to go together.
Although the five thousand cavalry led by Guan Sheng are not top elites like Huben Camp, they are still elites fully equipped with armor.
With the entire Huben camp annihilated, the remaining cavalry of the Qin army in Beihai was less than 2,000, so these 5,000 cavalry were a timely blessing for Li Jing.
“General Zhou Yu, everyone has arrived and the ship is ready to sail.” Huang Feihu said.
Zhou Yu nodded, and then shouted an order: "Set the ship."
The Yellow River Navy of the Qin Army, carrying 5,000 cavalry, headed eastward toward the Beihai in Qingzhou. However, when passing through the waters of Jizhou, the Navy encountered an iron chain crossing.
This was arranged by Han Xin in advance before he completely retreated into Yecheng. In addition to the iron lock across the river, Han Xin also laid a large number of hidden stakes to prevent the Qin Navy from entering Qingzhou to intervene in the war.
A steel cable as big as the mouth of a bowl was stretched across the Yellow River, blocking the navy's way.
As for the hidden piles hidden behind the iron locks, if a ship hits them, it is likely to hit the rocks.
“How can we get through this?” Guan Sheng said anxiously.
Huang Feihu also frowned when he saw this, thinking about how to solve this dilemma.
Zhou Yu on the side just pondered for a moment, then smiled and said: "This is a small problem, I already have a way to solve it."
With that said, Zhou Yudang immediately ordered several small boats to be mobilized and filled them with sulfur, saltpeter and tinder.
When the boat approached the iron lock, it set fire to the fire boat with rockets, and actually planned to use the fire boat to burn the iron lock directly.
The iron lock deployed by Han Xin across the river was easily broken by Zhou Yu using a fire ship because there was no one to guard or defend it.
Of course, after breaking the iron lock on Hengjiang, there are still more difficult hidden stakes behind. 【Zhou Yu's skill "Shuijun" is activated...】
Huang Feihu and Guan Sheng originally thought that Zhou Yu would send a small boat to test the positions one by one in the water. After all, although this method took a long time, it was the safest way.
Huang Feihu and Guan Sheng never expected that Zhou Yu would be so discerning. They could guess the approximate location of the hidden pile through only a few details, and finally led the fleet through it without any danger.
After breaking through the iron locks and hidden piles in the water, there were no obstacles on the waterway leading to Beihai, and the Qin army arrived at Beihai unimpeded.
Since then, generals such as Huang Feihu, Huang Tianhua, Huang Tianxiang, and Guan Sheng have also officially joined the ranks of the Qin army in Beihai.
Looking at the broken and unrepaired city walls of Beihai, Huang Feihu knew that Beihai must have encountered a fierce battle. He was also curious about how Li Jing persisted until now. After all, Wang Mang had three war gods on his side.
Facing Huang Feihu’s question, Li Jingze explained with a wry smile: “Thanks to Mr. Kong Xuan’s help.”
Li Jing's eyes were full of respect when he mentioned Kong Xuan. If he hadn't taken action, even if Beihai City could be defended in the end, it would probably be severely damaged.
In addition to the time when he helped Fu Nian before, Kong Xuan had directly helped Li Jing twice. Naturally, Li Jing would never forget this kindness.
Huang Feihu's side, when they learned that Kong Xuan had fought three war gods on his own and won, this fighting power shocked everyone.
“What about Master Taishou, this man from Kongxuan?”
Huang Tianxiang asked. He was also a newborn calf. Although he was shocked by Kong Xuan's strength, he was not particularly in awe.
“I’m gone, and I don’t know where I’m going.”
Li Jing said helplessly, of course he wanted to keep Kong Xuan, but for some reason Kong Xuan seemed to have a problem with him and never gave him a good look, which made Li Jing feel regretful.
Hearing this, Huang Feihu couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth. Are all masters so free and easy?
"Master Taishou, although Kong Xuan is gone, our father and son, as well as General Guan Sheng are here, and they can defeat Wang Mang." Huang Feihu said solemnly.
"Um."
Li Jing smiled and nodded. He had already read the letter written to him by Qin Hao and knew that Huang Feihu and his son had the strength of the God of War.
Although Li Jing had doubts about the strength of Huang Feihu and his son at first, after all, it was a bit outrageous to have three gods of war in one sect, he also knew that it was impossible for his lord to lie to him.
Li Jing was touched and a little ashamed to give such a large amount of support to his side at once. He made up his mind that he must fight the rest of the war well and avenge Ran Min, otherwise he would not be sorry for his lord's treatment of him. trust.
There are three Huang Feihu and his son, plus Jintai, Li Jing already has four war gods, but Wang Mang only has three, no, two war gods.
In fact, not long after Kong Xuan defeated Wang Mang, Tantai Yu was recalled to Julu by Lian Po. He could not help but conceal his identity and sneaked here. With Ran Min dying in battle, the news of his departure from Julu was also discovered by the Qin army. have to.
Therefore, if Tantai Yu does not return, once Su Dingfang and Yuwen Chengdu launch a general offensive, Lian Po will fall into a passive state.
Once Tantaiyu left, Wang Mang was left with Ju Wuba and Xia Luqi, but he didn't know that Li Jing had three new gods of war.
Four against two, the Qin army had an absolute advantage in terms of generals.
As for the strength of the troops, although the Qin army was much smaller than the Northern Han coalition, this was not a gap that could not be bridged.
“General Ran Min, Li will definitely avenge you.”
Li Jing's eyes were full of determination, and he said to himself in a deep voice that a brand new battle plan had been brewing in his heart.
